Trip Day 41 Friday June 4,2021 Move to Indian Rock Campground York, PA

Even though the rains threatened all morning ,there was  hope that the rains of last night would not return. That was some rain. Fortunately, this entire camping facility is on high ground. The drainage is excellent. We watched the weather this morning  and as the new campground allowed admissions after 2:00 Pm we were going to wait as long as possible to, leave as it was only a 25 mile trip up I-83. So, I called Carole at the new campground and she said , sure come on along. Ruth had already washed the floor and vacuumed and cleaned the bathroom, so we were ready to go. So we bundled up everything and headed out the gate at about11:45AM.

Last night's rain on the window.

The storms building up earlier in the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The  the short miles took us  to the gate at ...whoops,we missed the entrance!!! This was not funny. We are in rural York county where the road is two lane without shoulders, trees hanging down over the road and no farmyard to turn around . All forested.  Keep driving you say, so we did and decided to make a left turn at an intersection which was fortuitous. as about another 1/2 mile down the road there was a angular intersection, which gave a large apron to the blacktop and enough room to swing around 180 degrees. The guy behind me stopped as he was not sure what was going on. At any rate we drove the two miles back and turned in to meet Carole who took our money, gave us info and escorted us to a choice of sites. With a large open area in front of the truck, it was a relatively easy back in from the right side.

The feeders are up and I saw a hummer this evening!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We set up in the very nice 80 F heat , and we could feel the humidity was getting lower each hour. Ruth even said she didn't sweat setting up which is unusual. I set up the water and electric (which was on the opposite side) but with just enough hose and electric to reach with one of each.

I set up the bird feeders and we were "in business". 

We made a light lunch and still had time to try a birding sot and we did find one. It was the nearest Park to the campsite. Richard M Nixon Park and Nature Center. It was worth the short time we were   there. This is a good birding spot that we will be going back. A stream runs through it (Cordorus branch Creek)  it has trails that    are special needs accessible (paved), many parking places and  a Nature Center that is A #1.

Quite typical country side enroute to Park.

 

So it was a  good day and we are set for another 4 days.  Supper was corn on the cob with a rice and chicken casserole. The corn was not that summer sweet kind so will try again.

We will go strawberry picking tomorrow with the Simmons as that is  the plan.

See you tomorrow.
